Great story! 😄 And a good metaphor for chronic illness and just burnout in general. Reminds my of the time I was 19, a summer intern for the Forest Service, and nearly flipped my truck because I was driving too fast down a dirt road looking for a swimming hole with a fellow intern 🫠 One of the dumbest things I've ever done.

Oh my goodness, that is terrifying!! Glad you made it and can look back with some humor :) This situation was definitely an eye-opener for me.

That little Kia served us well!! I am so glad you can tell this story with such humor as it doesn't have its potential horrific ending. I think it is a great metaphor for chronic illness. What a great story.

Thank you! As you know, I was in fact a little traumatized by the incident, but I can appreciate a little type 2 fun 😊
